Youth Musical Theatre Classes

The Phoenix Theatre Company is dedicated to making the arts accessible to children and young adults of all ages and abilities through our youth programming. We are pleased to offer two fifteen-week courses for Spring 2025.

Our mission is to create an inclusive environment where young people can communicate their thoughts and feelings effectively through the arts while developing confidence, a positive sense of self, and nurturing their inner artist. All our staff members have previous experience in the arts, as well as working with children, and they are tasked with developing each child’s unique talents and form of expression.

Spring 2025 youth classes run weekly from January 18th to April 26th with March 15th off for spring break. Join our premiere professional arts organization in creating something special for your child this semester! Class sizes are limited so early registration is recommended!
